<p>Greta Gerwig, who is gearing up for the release of her new film <em>Barbie</em> this Friday, welcomed her second child, a baby boy, with husband Noah Baumbach earlier this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The arrival of the director-writer couple’s newest addition to the family was revealed in an Elle UK profile of the filmmaker. The baby is the second of the couple who also has a 4-year-old son, Harold. Baumbach has a 13-year-old son, Rohmer, from his previous marriage. The news of the baby's arrival was not made by the couple earlier.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During the interview, which covers Gerwig’s personal journeys as well as her professional and creative ones, the filmmaker initially discusses her new baby in the context of reflecting on where she is in life.<br />
<br />
“I’m about to be 40,” she told the magazine. “And there’s something about that where you’re like: Oh! I’m properly middle-aged now.’ All parts of life feel extremely activated.”<br />
<br />
During the interview, Gerwig reportedly stepped away to pump breastmilk for her newborn and even shared photos with the publication of her baby.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“He’s a little Schmoo. I don’t know if you can tell energy from the picture, but that’s very much his energy,” she said. “The little guy is sleeping through the night. But I’m still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover. You just keep wanting to look at that baby. So I’m slightly in a twilight state.”<br />
<br />
The interview marks the first time Gerwig or Baumbach have discussed the birth of their second son. The Oscar-nominated writer and director announced she was pregnant for the second time back in December 2022 during an appearance on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.</em></p>

<p>During the episode, Fallon teased Gerwig had news, with the director responding, “Yes, I am with child,” as the audience cheered and applauded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gerwig's film <em>Barbie,</em> featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead, is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The film has been co-written by Gerwig and Baumbach. Barbie will have a box office clash with Christopher Nolan's <em>Oppenheimer </em>on July 21.&nbsp;<br />

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Full Cast</strong></h2>

<p>While Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty repeatedly confirmed their roles as Baburao and Shyam, fans doubted Akshay Kumar's comeback as Raju. 'Who will be in the cast of Hera Pheri 3?' has been the recurring question. However, it's confirmed now. Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty will be in the cast of Hera Pheri 3. But the full cast list of Hera Pheri 3 is not out yet. Some sources say, Kartik Aryan, Nana Patekar, Abhishek Bachchan, and John Abraham are a part of the cast. But, there has been no confirmation from the production of Hera Pheri 3. Moreover, the female lead's name for Hera Pheri 3 is also not out yet.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Expected Release Date</strong></h2>

<p>After almost two decades, Hera Pheri remains the most loved Indian Comedy film. People are crazy about the funny storyline, the amusing dialogues, and the unforgettable characters. However, the release date for Hera Pheri 3 is not out. The directors or producers have not hinted towards a release date in 2023. Furthermore, the official shooting of Hera Pheri 3 has not begun yet. Thus, it will probably take some time to make Hera Pheri 3.</p>

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Director &amp; Producer</strong></h2>

<p>Chances are that Priyadarshan might not direct Hera Pheri 3. Farhad Samji and Raaj Shandliya are the rumoured directors for Hera Pheri 3. However, there has been no official announcement from the production side. Anand Pandit and Firoz Nadiadwala are the producers of Hera Pheri 3.</p>

<h2><strong>Controversies around Hera Pheri 3</strong></h2>

<p>In 2015, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham were about to replace Akshay Kumar in Hera Pheri 3. Fans were unhappy with the decision, and the creators faced backlash on social media platforms. Later, Abhishek Bachchan said things didn't work out for him in Hera Pheri 3. In 2017, Neeraj Vora, the director of Phir Hera Pheri, passed away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the&nbsp;eve&nbsp;of the Tokyo&nbsp;Games, organisers&nbsp;fired&nbsp;the&nbsp;director&nbsp;of the&nbsp;opening&nbsp;ceremony&nbsp;over&nbsp;a&nbsp;joke&nbsp;he made about the&nbsp;Holocaust, while media reported former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a staunch advocate for the Tokyo&nbsp;Games, would skip the showpiece&nbsp;event.</p>

<p>The news is the latest in a series of embarrassments for Tokyo organisers that have sparked outrage and comes just days after a well known musician was forced to step down as composer for the&nbsp;ceremony&nbsp;after old reports of his bullying and abusive behaviour surfaced.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, the head of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee resigned after making sexist remarks and Tokyo&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;creative head followed after he made derogatory comments about a popular Japanese female entertainer.</p>

<p>Tokyo&nbsp;Games&nbsp;organisers&nbsp;fired&nbsp;Kentaro Kobayashi on Thursday&nbsp;over&nbsp;a&nbsp;joke&nbsp;he made about the&nbsp;Holocaust&nbsp;as part of his comedy act in the 1990s that recently resurfaced in domestic media.</p>

<p>"I offer my deep apology for causing trouble and worry for many people concerned as well as Tokyo residents and Japanese people when the&nbsp;opening&nbsp;ceremony&nbsp;is almost upon us," said a sombre Seiko Hashimoto, who heads the organising committee.</p>

<p>Earlier, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, an international Jewish human rights organisation, released a statement saying Kobayashi's association with the&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;would "insult the memory" of the six million Jewish people who perished in the&nbsp;Holocaust.</p>

<p>Kobayashi apologised for his past comments in a statement.</p>

<p>Former PM Abe, who famously dressed up as the titular plumber from video game Super Mario at the Rio&nbsp;Games&nbsp;to represent Japan, played an outsized role in attracting the&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;to Tokyo.</p>

<p>At the time of the bid, Abe and his supporters hoped the&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;would parallel the 1964 Tokyo&nbsp;Games&nbsp;heralding the nation's revival after decades of economic stagnation and also mark its recovery from a devastating nuclear and natural disaster in 2011.</p>

<p>But the spectacle of last-minute personnel changes, the resurfacing of past abusive comments and the looming presence of the pandemic threatened to turn the&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;into a "PR disaster," said Bob Pickard, a veteran PR executive at Signal Leadership Communication.</p>

<p>"Tokyo 2020 was supposed to be a global platform for the launch of a new Japan facing an international future with confidence. Instead, what we see here is the legacy of the old Japan's insular attitudes mired in past prejudices and dated stereotypes," he said.</p>

<p>Only a third of Japanese have had at least one dose of the vaccine, fuelling public concerns that the&nbsp;Olympics&nbsp;could become a super-spreader&nbsp;event.</p>

<p>Quentin Tarantino&nbsp;is talking about his retirement again!<br />
<br />
One of Hollywood's most celebrated directors, Tarantino is always open about his intentions on when he is will be done making movies and will finally fold up his director's chair.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Recently, in an interview with the Pure Cinema podcast, the 58-year-old 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' director got candid about his retiring plan and how he is avoiding the possibility of ending his career on a bad film, like all other best Hollywood director have done so far.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Most directors have horrible last movies," Tarantino said.<br />
<br />
"Usually their worst movies are their last movies. That's the case for most of the Golden Age directors that ended up making their last movies in the late '60s and the '70s, then that ended up being the case for most of the New Hollywood directors who made their last movies in the late '80s and the '90s." He said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
By mentioning 'Bonnie &amp; Clyde' director Arthur Penn, Tarantino added, "I'm not a super huge fan of this director, but the fact that Arthur Penn's last movie is Penn &amp; Teller Get Killed is a metaphor for how crummy most of the New Hollywood directors' last, last films were. So to actually end your career on a decent movie is rare. To end it with, like, a good movie is kind of phenomenal."<br />
<br />
“Most directors’ last films are f**king lousy. Maybe I should not make another movie because I could be really happy with dropping the mic," he added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Oscar winner has long expressed his intention to retire after releasing 10 films and his 2019 movie 'Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood' was his ninth film and earned rave reviews and scored 10 nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards with two wins.&nbsp;</p>

<p>FBI Director Chris Wray will testify to the US Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday about the investigation of the deadly attack on the Capitol by Donald Trump's supporters and the bureau's efforts to stop right-wing extremist violence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The hearing will mark Wray's first testimony before Congress since the January 6 attack, a failed bid to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election victory in November.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Justice Department has charged more than 250 people on criminal counts, ranging from conspiracy to attacking police and obstructing Congress. The rioting led to five deaths.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At least 18 people associated with the far-right Proud Boys have been charged and nine people tied to the anti-government militia known as the Oath Keepers are facing charges they conspired as far back as November to storm the Capitol to prevent Biden from becoming president.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The FBI has not yet arrested any suspects in the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, or for pipe bombs that were discovered outside the headquarters of both the Republican and Democratic national committees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The FBI has obtained a video that shows a suspect spraying bear spray on police officers, including Sicknick, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The suspect has not yet been identified by name, and it is still not clear if the bear spray contributed to Sicknick's death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin said he spoke directly with Wray on how the bureau is allocating resources to the investigation, and said that for far too long, the federal government has 'turned a blind eye' to the threats of domestic terrorism by white supremacists.&nbsp;</p>
